Episode No. 673 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Matthew Brandt.  Brandt is included in "Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene" at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. The exhibition shows how 45 photo-based artists from around the world have examined the Anthropocene. "Second Nature" was curated by Jessica May and Marshall N. Price and is on view through January 5, 2025. An excellent catalogue was published by Rizzoli Electa. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $49-60.  Brandt's works often join physical elements from the subjects he photographs to investigations of the land and our impacts on it. He's received solo shows at museums such as the Newark Museum, and he's been included in major group shows at museums such as the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and more. His work is in nearly all major institutional US photography collections.  Brandt's website includes extensive galleries of the series of work discussed on the program, including:  Lakes and Reservoirs; Carbon; Trees (including George Bush Park 1, 2009-11); Taste Tests (featuring Yosemite); Eagles; Woodblocks; Waterfalls; and 1864.
